chloe's new drumkit

dave got a new drumkit for his belated birthday and chloe thinks it belongs to her.


she loves to be outside and recently laid down on top of me so that we could look up at the wind in the trees together. she's a total sweet pea. loves to give hugs and kisses too and has been getting much better about her kisses not being open-mouthed and not so sloppy...which is a plus.
we have a bird's nest in the big tree in the backyard and the male is super protective. he's been hurling himself at the cats in the window but also has taken to flying at his own reflection in the window. of course, chloe was interested as well.
the best thing is that she loves life and is genuinely happy most of the time. she's still working on the words...ny ny means nighty night and unfortunately has started mimicking most sounds that come out of our mouths...even the bad ones! so momma needs to work on that! :) am looking forward to summer and the swim & gym classes that we're going to take together. she still loves the park and is learning that not everything is hers. that's going to take a while, though. people can't believe that she's only 19 months when they meet her. she's growing so fast that sometimes she looks taller after a nap! her new favorite thing is to jump and dance and is figuring how to make her body move around. see video below!
